DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

SPINK12 is expressed in the mouse epididymis alongside SPINK8, SPINK10 and SPINK11. Apparently, the protease SPINK12 contributes to the regulation of sperm maturation by regulating proteolytic processing of the sperm membrane during epididymal transit.
